Abstract

The Department of Justice is adopting a rule that specifies the registration requirements under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act ("SORNA"). The rule in part reflects express requirements of SORNA and in part reflects the exercise of authorities SORNA grants to the Attorney General to interpret and implement SORNA's requirements. SORNA's requirements have previously been delineated in guidelines issued by the Attorney General for implementation of SORNA's requirements by registration jurisdictions.
